ryaldinhio 4,141 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Little un turned 4 during lockdown so now old enough but club onky just re-opened. First class yesterday, he absolutely loved it and was totally focussed on what the teacher was saying. Back tomorrow and Friday. I know 4 is young but he is a bit mental at times so helps burn off some steam. Plus hope he sticks with it for the discipline, respect and fitness. 18 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great to see young kids taking up sports, and parents actively encouraging them. Is it a boxing club ? Atb j 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it a boxing club ? Atb j It's a martial arts centre. They do all sorts ju-jitsu, muay Thai, kick boxing etc. The class he has joined is called anti-bully but it's just the intro class really. If he wants to keep doing it the next classes are kick boxing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dougieboy 250 Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) Four is a good age, my grandson is Five he’s been training MMA for a bit now, had a couple tournaments and been graded a couple of times too. This is him with the Flu, he refused to not compete. Makes ya proud. I think the secret is keep it fun, mix it up and they’ll do ok. My grandson goes skateboarding a couple of times per week as well, all strength and character building. keeps em of that f***ing screen too Edited August 19, 2020 by Dougieboy 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Wilkes 2,915 Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 It’s terrible mate, he’s 13 now and this is the age he needs the training/ exercise. He’s 5ft 8 and I can only just handle him ( when we roll) but I’m too old for that now 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 2,915 Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 We love it, the confidence it’s given him is unreal, I’m just waiting for them to open and then my 6 yr old daughter will start training. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
